Dead Haven

Jack Zombie Series, Book 1

By: Flint Maxwell

Narrated by: Neil Hellegers

Jack Jupiter knows zombies. He's written about them for years. So when Jack's mother passes away in a freak car accident involving a half-eaten deer and a pack of cigarettes, he also knows something's up. Now, Jack and his fiancé, Darlene, are forced to go back to the dreadful town of Woodhaven, Ohio, for his mom's funeral.

But what he doesn't know is it might be their funeral, too.

A few months before Jack and Darlene's arrival, a mysterious flu-like virus swept through the town, infecting nearly every citizen. Now, like ticking time-bombs ready to explode, everyone is dropping dead. But they aren't staying dead. No, they're coming back as flesh-eating zombies.

Not only will Jack Jupiter have to bury his mother, confront high school bullies, and save Darlene, but he'll have to fight the dead in order to stay alive. And these aren't like the zombies from his books.

These walking corpses are real.

Main character starts off as a whiner but matures!

Jack Jupiter was initially SO ANNOYING that I wasn't certain I would finish the book, much less continue the series. But as things get wild in the scary new world, he grows favorably during the story. I must admit it--I'm hooked, I'm hooked, I'm ABSOLUTELY hooked!

Zombies are bullies

Small time writer returns to the small town he was bullied in. overall not to bad.

Dr. A

The story may be ok, but I can’t finish it

The narrator is so monotone I had to look and verify it was a person and not the AI thing. I went through chapter 10. I realize I am spoiled by certain narrators, but this book may be better off just read by AI. It is that bad.

Other than that, if you like a nerdy, annoying author for the main character in a run of the mill zombie story and you are NOT a narrator snob like some of us are. I’m sure this book is fine. This is probably a fine read. (If you run out of all Mark Tufo’s Zombie Fallout books then his other series and all of the other authors we happily list on his fan group page. Ha ha ha.. )

Good writing

This could have been a stellar zombie story if the main character was not such a annoying wimp.

Can’t wait to listen to book 2!

It was a great book. I really enjoyed it. I can’t wait to look for book 2!
